Our Expert Score

96/100

The Castles of Burgundy is widely considered one of the greatest board games ever made, and this digital version is the definitive way to play it. The game is a masterclass in 'dice mitigation'—you roll two dice and use them to take actions, but there are so many ways to modify those rolls that you never feel truly at the mercy of luck.

Building your estate in 15th-century France is incredibly rewarding. Every tile you place feels like a step toward a larger engine. The UI manages to condense a massive board into a mobile screen without losing clarity, which is a feat in itself. Whether you're playing against the challenging AI or in the ranked online leagues, Burgundy offers a depth of strategy that few other games can match. It’s essential for any serious strategy gamer.
